Deepika addressed the audience and stated the reason why she became MAMI's Chairperson. "Many of you are probably wondering why I am here and that the role of a chairperson is for someone older and wiser. Many others believe that I am too young, too mainstream, too tall and now look what I am wearing!' (referring to her gown). But I am here for two reasons- to learn and to give back to the community, which has given me so much," the actor said. (Photo: Varinder Chawla)
